Class Name: Psion
Strengths: The striking fist or flashing sword pales beside a psion's focused stare. Psionic powers arise from a regimen of strict mental discipline developed over months and years of self-scrutiny and subconscious discovery. They are able to accomplish great things by using the untapped power of their mind. This is very different from what a mage/spellcaster would use, and Psions generally feel that magic is a crutch for the mind. A Psion's powers have a broad range and can be divided into smaller sub-disciplines:
Clairsentience: In simplest terms, a seer. They possess precognitive powers to aid their comrades in battle, as well as powers that permit them to gather information in a variety of ways.
Metacreativity: This discipline includes powers that draw ectoplasm or matter from the Astral Plane, creating semisolid and solid items such as armor, weapons, or animated constructs to do battle at their command.
Psychokinesis: In simplest terms, a kineticist. Masters of powers, they can manipulate and transform matter and energy.
Psychometabolism: This discipline includes powers that can alter the Psion's psychobiology, or that of creatures near him. They can both heal and transform themselves into a fearsome fighter.
Psychoportation: The Psion equivalent of a nomad. They can wield powers that propel or displace objects in space and time.
Telepathy: In simplest terms, a telepath. They are masters of powers that allow mental contact and control of other sentient creatures. One of these can deceive or destroy the minds of their enemies.
Weakness: They must meditate on a regular basis; for to know thyself isn't just a saying for them, it is the road to power. Even though they use the power of their own mind, there is a limit to that power, with which meditating helps replenish and restore. They usually don't trust too many others and are generally on their own, being misunderstood and feared by friends and family. The Psion draws real power from his mind. Their aggressive powers do not freely scale as do the spells of arcane and divine casters. A Psion's powers are innate but not effortlessly gained. They must always be studying themselves and delving within, such as they would do during meditation.
Races that can be this Class: Any that have the mental capability, will power, devotion to be able to unleash the minds power, and the discipline to stick with it and meditate.
Alignment: Psions look always inward, so they tend towards neutrality other both chaos and law, but being neutral is by no means a requirement. They can be either good or evil.
Description: What is Psionics? Simply put, psionics is the art of tapping the mind's potential. A psionic character is blessed with a form of innate ability that enables him or her to use mental power to achieve goals or perform tasks that nonpsionic characters can accomplish -- if they're even capable of doing them at all -- only by using gross physical skills such as brute strength or raw agility, or by using intellect or force of will distinct from the natural power of the mind itself.
